After sending Bai Chun out of Yangzhou, the Ye Mansion was suddenly much more deserted, but fortunately, there were still the two heartless brothers of the Ye family, so the peace was only half a day, and then it returned to the hustle and bustle of the past again.

The footsteps of the Yuan Day are getting closer and closer, and the jubilant atmosphere in Yangzhou City is getting hotter and hotter, but whether it is Yangzhou or Lin'an, or any place or anything in the world, in Ye Qing's view, the mood of looking forward to a festive and peaceful event is always more exciting than after the arrival of this big event.

Just like a long-cherished item, the mood when you don't get it, and the mood when you are about to get it, are more exciting and exciting than the real ones that come after you get them.

Ye Qing never thought that one day, he would be able to get to such a point today, whether it was a mistake or a mistake, it would be a matter of course, in short, Ye Qing, who was now standing in such a high position, did not feel as exciting as when he was looking forward to a result that he did not get.

The cat who had been in Lin'an for three days was in a state of confusion and depressed mood never went anywhere at home, and now that emotion came to his heart again with Bai Chun's departure.

Looking at the people coming and going on the streets of Yangzhou, it is obvious that he cannot be as sure of his future life as he accurately predicts history.

Just like what Bai Chun said to him last night, the reason why she was willing to help Ye Qing so much was that she didn't want to see Ye Qing fail in the court one day, or be crushed because of this, leaving their orphans and widows to live in disgrace.

With the recovery of the Beidi Fourth Road, and now it has gradually stabilized under the rule of the Song Dynasty, both the imperial court and Ye Qing himself have been avoiding a topic, that is, the matter of moving the capital mentioned to King Qing that day.

Ye Qing, who had not been out in Lin'an for three days, was depressed because of this incident.

There can be many ways in life, and some people say that everyone's success is accidental, and some people say that it is inevitable, but sometimes we have to admit that in the initial stage, there are many people who start by mistake.

As the man surnamed Ma said in the previous life: I never thought that the company would be so large, and I never thought that the company would completely change his life, I just wanted to do a small business.

At this moment, Ye Qing has been able to deeply understand the meaning of this sentence, after all, just like he did at the beginning, he just wanted to be a guard to earn a little more money, and he didn't think about it, let alone aspire to be a big official, and what a powerful minister he became, but everything was so in the footsteps of time, in the development of things, with the support and opposition of various characters, he was slowly pushed in this direction.

The bigger it is, the fewer paths people can choose, and the same is true for Ye Qing today, with the topic of moving the capital to be mentioned by him in front of King Qing, now it also makes his future path more and more unselectable.

Either obey the orders of the imperial court, maintain the current status quo, and wait for the wheel of history to be crushed again, and then the entire land of China will be devastated, and it will fall into the flames of war for a long time.

Either they will continue to disobey the will of the imperial court, continue to go north, and continue to follow their own plans to contain the Tatars and plot against the Jin, and occupy the entire Central Plains. In this way, once the court's jealousy of him deepens, then he will inevitably bear a heavy infamy, and he will also become a hero and a minister who is attacked by the whole world, but fortunately, he can save his life.

But if you obey the will of the imperial court, not only

It's that the entire land of China will fall into war, and I'm afraid that I don't know when I will be "unnecessary" by the imperial court, and I won't be able to see the two little things in front of me grow up.

Wandering around Yangzhou City with the two little guys, thinking about his own thoughts, he unconsciously walked to the door of the slanting wind and drizzle building again, Ye Gucheng and Ye Wujian instantly lit up, and they left Ye Qing and ran inside.

Obviously, the two little guys are also very familiar with the slanting wind and drizzle building, and they must have been brought over to eat and drink.

As Ye Qing walked into the second floor, he saw Wen Wan squatting down, talking to the two brothers with a smile, and after seeing Ye Qing, he got up and walked over with the two brothers who were shouting for something delicious.

Without waiting for Wen Wan to speak, Ye Qing spoke first: "It's nothing to do, the two little guys are arguing to have a lively time, so I'll take them out and walk around casually." ”

Although Wen Wan was a little nervous in her heart, she still smiled generously on the surface, and said: "Since the adults take them to see the excitement, they should go to the Twenty-fourth Bridge, whether it is juggling or others, there are countless of them, and now it is almost the first day, and it will definitely be more lively." ”

Ye Qing smiled and nodded, and was taken into the private room by Wen Wan, planning to feed the two brothers who were shouting to eat good things and bring food boxes back to the two sisters of the Zhao family.

Seeing the two little guys eating with their mouths full of oil, Wen Wan wiping the oil on the side of their mouths from time to time, Ye Qing smiled casually and said, "Sit down and talk, you don't have to stand all the time." ”

Seeing Wen Wan sitting down next to the two little guys, Ye Qing asked, "How is Yang Bailao over there?" How does King Qing's Mansion treat them? ”

Wen Wan helped the two brothers to pick up the vegetables, and said: "The hands and feet are nimble, the work is neat, the important thing is to have vision, flexible thinking, good at observing words and observations, two days ago I was still doing some work in the house, and now it is said that Mrs. Huaguo likes it very much, and she has compared some palace maids to her, and she plans to use them as her own people." ”

"Considerate of yourself?" Ye Qing asked with some frowns, and the afterglow swept towards the two brothers who were extremely arrogant.

Wen Wan was obviously much more stable than when she was in Yongjin Building, and after smiling, she said: "Yes, just like a personal maid, with a seven-point posture and three-point temperament, coupled with a flexible mind, it is not difficult to stand out." The main thing is...... The concubine thought that she was afraid that Mrs. Huaguo was also brought back by King Qing herself, so she would pay more attention and pay attention to it. Otherwise, among the princes and nobles, it is not so easy to enter the eyes of others just by posture. ”

Ye Qing nodded clearly, then sighed, signaled Wen Wan to prepare the food box that the two brothers wanted to bring back to their future daughter-in-law, and thought for a while: "Since this is the case, then there is no need to be too strict, including Yang Bailao, presumably the Qing Mansion will not treat him badly, if there is no urgent matter, if there is no trouble, there will be no trouble." ”

"Yes, the concubine understands." While replying to Ye Qing's words, he quickly prepared the food boxes that the two brothers of the Ye family wanted in the blink of an eye.

Refusing to send Wen Wan to send a car, Ye Qing carried a small food box, kicked the two brothers in the buttocks, and walked outside the slanting wind and drizzle building.

Sending Ye Qing to the door of the Slanting Wind Drizzle Building, Wen Wan couldn't help but remind Ye Qing and said: "Liu Dexiu hasn't been to the Slanting Wind Drizzle Building for a few days, and there is no movement in the house, although those subordinates have been severely punished by Liu Dexiu, they have not been driven out of the house." ”

"Got it." Ye Qing nodded and said lightly.

Ye Qing disappeared into the crowd with the two little guys, and looked at it quietly for a while, until the figures of the three of them were difficult to distinguish in the crowd, and then turned around and walked back to the building.

When Ye Qing returned to Yangzhou, it was like a boulder smashed into the calm lake, splashing huge waves, causing the entire lake to begin to ripple, and then gradually returned to calm.

But even so, the calm on the surface does not mean that there is so calm under the surface of the water, and there are no undercurrents surging.

As if it had been agreed, except for some movements after Ye Qing returned to Yangzhou at the beginning, which gradually calmed down, the entire Huainan East Road, especially Yangzhou, began to fall into anticipation for Yuan Ri.

Obviously, people want to have a good year, a peaceful and peaceful Yuan Day, or even the Shangyuan Festival.

Most of the people in the government office were already idle, and even the craftsmen who built the city walls began to stop and began to go home to reunite and prepare for the next New Year.

The belated snowflakes began to flutter in the sky above Yangzhou City, and the thin snowflakes looked so delicate and elegant, not at all like the goose feather snow in the north, with a rough mine and bold and uninhibited.

When the two brothers entered the Chongguo Mansion from their back door with food boxes, it was when Liu Dexiu returned to the house in a carriage from the government office, and the entire government office had become empty because of the approaching Yuan Day, but only Liu Dexiu's hands still had a large number of Ye Qing's dispatches.

has gradually calmed down from the uneasiness brought to him by Ye Qing's return to Yangzhou at the beginning, but Liu Dexiu's heart is also very clear that his plan to escape back to Lin'an around the first day has collapsed because of the large number of dispatches given to him by Ye Qing.

In the entire Yangzhou officialdom, in the eyes of many officials, Ye Qing gave him Liu Dexiu such a large number of dispatches, completely because he trusted and valued him Liu Dexiu.

Therefore, Ye Qing's behavior even made some people a little envious of him Liu Dexiu's current dispatch.

Similarly, because of Ye Qing's move, it naturally shattered the rumors that had been circulating in Yangzhou officialdom that Ye Qing had never waited to see him Liu Dexiu and wanted to suppress him all the time.

But Liu Dexiu is dumb at the moment, can't say it, for the upcoming Yuan Day, Liu Dexiu is not looking forward to it at all, and even wishes that the Yuan Day can come later, and it is best never to come.

In the eyes of outsiders, the dispatch given to him by Ye Qing seems to be out of trust and value, but in fact? Ye Qing's intention was to use these dispatches to drag Liu Dexiu, so that he had no way to leave Yangzhou for various reasons because of the dispatch at hand, like a shackle, locking him tightly in Yangzhou and unable to move.

If he disobeys orders and insists on leaving Yangzhou, then Liu Dexiu will inevitably be truthful, and will also give Ye Qing the opportunity to attack him justifiably, and other officials in Yangzhou will inevitably think that it is he Liu Dexiu who does not know how to raise his name, and he has failed to appease the trust of the adults in him.

Even, before he walked out of Yangzhou City, I am afraid that Ye Qing would already know the news of his departure from the city, whether it was by land or water, Liu Dexiu believed that I am afraid that Ye Qing's people were watching and waiting for him everywhere.

Yangzhou City, which is large, makes Liu Dexiu feel like he can't fly at this moment, and he doesn't want to sit still, but there is no other way to save his life and help him escape from Yangzhou City, which is like hell for him.
